While he was running up the open ramp of the Longsword fighter, the Master Chief was thinking out loud about the horrible creatures, the flood... and their mindless destruction. Cortana interrupts him: "We're cutting it close" Knowing that's very true, the Master Chief speeds up and climbs in the controls of the fighter. "Here we go." The roar of the ship shooting out into space, and leaving the Covenant, the Flood, and (most importantly) Halo, muffled any possible chat between the Chief and Cortana for a while. The Chief hands control of the Longsword over to Cortana so his mind can wander. Thinking to himself: What a waste Halo was, All those lost lives, and the captain... As if reading his mind, Cortana says: "We did all we could do, the captain would want it." "We lost over 600 dependable marines." Before Cortana could say something, the MC answers himself, "And where are we going to get well-trained marines now that REACH is gone???" "I don't know." Cortana replies. "Did anyone else make it out?" asked the Chief. "You saw it yourself, the ring blew up. There is no possible way anyone could have survived." "I didn't ask your opinion, Cortana!!" yells the MC. "Sorry, SCANNING -------------------- Just dust, and echoes." "Damn." He left it at that and removed his helmet. 6 light years away, on board of the Green Bush, Captain Eric Wallace is sleeping. Three seconds later he is rudely awaken. 'Sir!' 'What the hell ... Oh. What is it SOLDIER?!?' 'We've received an emergency transmission from our sister ship, The Outcast.' Now fully awake, the Captain replies: 'Well, show me the damn video.' 'Ok, Sir.' As they walk out into the mess hall, Peter Rogers, the soldier, flips a switch and a large screen comes out of the ceiling. He flips another and the tape begins to play. Open Record View (#'s) Young: 'Please, someone for god's sake HELP US!!!' Sound of a metal door being banged in. Young: 'Oh Shit! Please whoever gets this message come quick! Don't let us be turned into one of them! The door gets ripped open, thousands of little squid like creatures come in. Young turns to the camera, 6-7 of the things are on his face. Young: 'Oh God! It's over for me! Just get here and save my men!!!' Some mutated creatures come through and grab Young. One smashes the camera, but audio is still on. Young: (Fires a round into one) 'Holy Crap! God why do you punish me so?!?' A piercing scream of pain and agony follows. >Unexpected Halt X (WND/INCAP/KIA/#'s) Capt. Eric silently prays for Sam, his best friend. 'All right, lets get this damn show on the road. Trace that video and fly us to the hellhole. Move Move Move!' In his cabin Lieutenant Christopher Keyes is getting ready for a battle. The SPECOPS Captain grabs a MA5B Assault Rifle, a combat knife, a sack of fragment grenades and a M90 Shotgun. He signed up for the military to hopefully find his father, Captain Jacob Keyes, who disappeared while on a mission to escape from Covenant forces. 'The Covenant', he speaks to himself, 'there has been no contact with them for a long time. It's as if they simply disappeared. Like my father...' Cutting him off is 2nd in command of the SPECOPS, Julia Richards: 'Come on Chris,' she says, hefting her customized S2 AM Sniper Rifle, 'we got some killin' ta do.' 'Damn right.' TO BE CONTINUED |
